So here she is, my very first paint job

[Absolute RC noob]

So I did 5 coats, 3hrs of trying to be patient, most of which was the poxy stickers

I'm over the moon, the coverage looks pretty good and boy it's transformed the look

What do you all think?

you did a very good and even job. I remember some of your other threads asking about people who can paint in the uk and the other one from last week asking for tips.

Thank you. Yeah i wasn't confident in doing it at all but practiced on a large Coca-Cola bottle cut in half first to get used to the spray and drying time etc but it seems to have come out pretty well

Looks great! Those stickers can be a pain sometimes.

You're telling me, all the hours I've put into stickers on large scale Lego models came in handy today

So. Here is my first go at spraying a body. Took off the film this morning that covers the outside. Probably not everyone’s cup of tea but here it is.

For the decals - spray some diluted dish soap on the body, you'll be able to slide the decals around. When you got em where you want em, start squeezing out the water from the middle. Worked great for me.
